Hey everyone. X2 n00B questions for you...
I have an A64 3200+ on a Socket 939 motherboard runnin perfectly. Someone wants my chip and I can get an A64 X2 4200+ cheap. My motherboard supports X2 and is running the latest BIOS. My XP Pro is updated and current.
Question...
Can I just pop the X2 chip in and all is well?
Or is XP gonna have goofy things happen? In games and so on?
Do I have to reinstall XP to do this correctly? If not a reinstall of XP, is there a bunch of stupid reg hacks and or hot fixes that have to be done for X2 to do what it's supposed to?
What is the right course of action ?
Please let me know if you can.
